You Are One of the Lucky Ones!

1. Are you feeling overworked 
at others’ beck and call,

to the point it seems 
you have no energy at all?

Are you robbed of precious time, 
depleted of all zest?

Through your veil of pity 
take a look at how you’re BLEST!

2. Are you getting quite impatient 
for some extra time,

in order to complete your work 
and once again feel fine?

Has responsibility to others 
weighed you down?

Does it seem there is 
no other helping hand around?

I’d like to pause a moment 
to relate your life’s great worth,

for you are one of the most 
FORTUNATE upon this earth!

3. When you count your BLESSINGS  
is the list both short and few?

Does your day seem cloudy 
even when the skies are blue?

Do you wish the world would stop 
and somehow fade away,

then reappear with less 
responsibility one day?

4. There are others who would 
TRADE with you without a thought,

who, from dealing with much more, 
are lonely and distraught.

Some confined by poverty 
or health would give their life

to focus on the welfare of 
their neighbors’ earthly strife.

5. If you spend a lot of time 
on others’ care and need,

I think by now you’ll see 
you are most fortunate indeed.
Thank God  for each precious 
opportunity to share,

offering Him your GRATITUDE 
in every heartfelt prayer.

Say, “I’d rather have one moment 
lending someone help,

than a lifetime of enjoyment 
focused on myself!”

Be grateful for each selfless act 
that you've performed since birth,

For those who care for others 
are the luckiest on earth!
